My disabled wife Sylv and I need to relocate to be closer to family to help with our care. We currently live in the inland desert of California and we’re trying to move to Las Vegas where my family lives. We’ve been living below the poverty line for 14 years now, and while my recently published comic book series is helping a bit, it’s an indie book and sales are low.

Cost of living in Vegas is MUCH cheaper, we’d have immediate family there to help us out with our daily needs, and as a caricature artist I’d have lots of new opportunities in a city full of events and conventions. We just need help getting there. I’m asking for your help in changing our lives and our future.

Visit our fundraiser and consider making a donation, or share this with others who might be able to.

Things are getting to a point in sales that I need to consider what kind of future the book has. I AM finishing the first storyarc which runs through issue #7 and the trade that will collect it all. Beyond that? No idea.

If you’re enjoying the book, PLEASE order a second copy and give it to a friend. PRE-ORDER it, or stores won’t bother increasing their orders. I’ve been hearing a LOT of stories of people unable to get a copy because their store only gets 2 copies and they both sell. Issue #5 is JAN140622. Issue #6 isFEB140643.

I’m trying to raise funds to get to Amazing Arizona next month, and I could use your help! Travelling While Disabled is more expensive than it is for most people, so I’m offering a special from now through January: buy ANYTHING from my store and get a unique print I’ll ONLY make available at Amazing Arizona and through this sale. Regardless of whether or not I get enough cash to go, you get the print with your order. What’s the print? A comic-size print of the cover of issue #3, out in January, drawn by me and colored by my wife, Sylv. Prints will be signed by both of us!

I’ve set up a store page where you can find all the various books I have available for sale. There are still a few Kickstarter traders, a handful of #1s, and a good amount of #2s! I’ll be adding sketch cards and art commissions soon.

First of all, I’m offering signed AND sketched copies of issue #1 from Image/Top Cow for $20 INCLUDING shipping and handling to anywhere in the US and Canada. Each book is sketched on the back, in the sketch-card box printed on every copy. Zoey is usually the default character, but I take requests! You can buy one now by clicking the Buy Now button at the top left of the Home page.

Second, I have about 20 Kickstarter books left (the rest are going to backers as I can afford to ship them!) that I’m ONLY selling signed AND sketched for $50 + S/H. These are the LAST that I will ever sell, so if you want one, now’s your chance. Otherwise you can try eBay, where I’ve seen them going as high as $75. Email me at xlarimex(at)gmail.com to order.

Lastly, I’m taking commissions for art in two ways. If I draw a digital sketch and print and sign it, which is easiest for me and results in better quality, I’ll do a grayscale pinup of your choice at 8″ x 10″ for $100. After it’s printed, I DELETE the file, so it IS basically an original.

If I draw on paper in pencil and pen, which takes a LOT longer and is actually of lower quality due to the limitations of drawing hunched over with very little reach, it’s $250. I know some of you insist on original art, and that’s fine, but it costs more because it’s more difficult. Either way, email me to ask about openings.

A VOICE IN THE DARK #1 has completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores, and is currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, and Android. Image Comics is pleased to announce that this first issue will be going back to print to meet customer demand. The second printing of A VOICE IN THE DARK #1 (Diamond Code OCT138157) will release on 12/18. A VOICE IN THE DARK #2 releases 12/18 and is available for pre-order with Diamond Code OCT130632.

Get a copy of the limited edition Kickstarter TPB on the left and get a free print while supplies last! These are extra prints from San Diego – I only made 100 – and still have some left. Each order of the book will come with one of the remaining prints.
